BENEFITS FOOD SAFETY The implementation of sorting technology can significantly reduce the risk of contamination from foreign material and any other unwanted materials.

4 BENEFITS FOOD SAFETY The implementation of sorting technology can significantly reduce the risk of contamination from foreign material and any other unwanted materials. Limiting product recalls and claims, our solutions help to increase the overall customer satisfaction, protect your brand and company s reputation and reinforce your corporate image towards the market and competitors. YIELD MAXIMISATION An increased product value not only creates a trustworthy relationship with your customer, but also boosts your company s productivity. Providing smart solutions that sort your produce in the most efficient way, limiting product loss and maximising the amount of recovered produce is our goal. At the same time our solutions minimize energy usage and significantly reduce waste. CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE Stable and reliable performance is key to keep your factory running in the most efficient manner and your business competitive. Through the effective and consequent removal of unwanted material, the consistent delivery of safe and pure food is guaranteed. TOMRA is your technology partner optimizing your production flow while offering stability during operation. TECHNOLOGY PULSED LED The combination of a number of different pulses (targeted frequency illumination) inspecting objects in the RGB and IR spectrum enable the detection of the subtlest color differences and enhance foreign material detection. Benefits are numerous: calibration-free, stability, long life-time, high resolution, less heating. CAMERA Recognition of materials based on color, biological characteristics and shape is guaranteed thanks to the use of cameras. Their capabilities go beyond the visible spectrum and include infrared, ultraviolet and other spectra. TOMRA has developed exclusive high resolution cameras with an adapted spectrum, ideal for optical food sorting. LASER TOMRA s laser technology sorts based on color, structure, and biological characteristics. Laser scanning detects contaminants even when the product and the defects have the same color, or when unwanted materials are invisible for the human eye.

5 The solution from TOMRA Sorting has given us stability and flexibility in the running of our plant. Guy Saint-Lo, Prim Co We have an excellent working relationship with the local agent and TOMRA and this ensured that the installation process was seamless and well-managed. Jon Wetherell, Project Engineer, Birds Eye The advanced and innovative technologies guarantee the highest level of reliability and increase our competitiveness in the market.

6 OUR SORTING & PEELING SOLUTIONS SENTINEL II FUNCTIONALITY THROUGHPUT FLEXIBILITY HALO FUNCTIONALITY THROUGHPUT FLEXIBILITY ODYSSEY STEAM PEELER An efficient and meticulous sort of washed and peeled vegetables is made possible thanks to the Sentinel II. Meeting the needs of the industry, the Sentinel offers a solution for seasonal and year round processors. The customized optical configuration and cost-effectiveness of the machine dramatically increases the already very attractive ROI. Even at high capacities the sorting performance is guaranteed and all foreign material, discolorations and blemishes are removed from the stream of produce. The user interface provides the operator with live data, diagnostics and maintenance information. Sanitation is simplified and maintenance costs kept low, thanks to the open design. The Halo provides a quality, shape and size sort of vegetables, both before and after peeling. Before peeling the machine sorts out foreign material and big defects and when installed after the peeler, the technology enhances the food safety and further increases the overall product quality, while maximising product recovery. Pulsed VIS/ NIR LED and high resolution sensor technology efficiently separates foreign material, discolorations, blemishes and shape differences from the good produce, creating three output lanes of different produce grades. The reliable, long life and compact sorter is equipped with wear resistant ejectors and full option user interface providing the operator with live data and statistics. Low operational and maintenance costs, in combination with limited operator interaction, make it a perfect sorter for all vegetable processors. The Odyssey high quality steam peeler is specifically designed for seasonal processors of vegetables such as red beets, pumpkins, celeriac, kohlrabi and chilies. It incorporates TOMRA s control software, an enlarged steam peeling vessel and a weigh hopper to enable customers to process a wide range of vegetables efficiently. The vessel is bottle-shaped to enable a range of large volume vegetables to be peeled. Using a simple steam supply and exhaust arrangement, the Odyssey steam peeler is low maintenance and has low operating costs whilst delivering highly efficient steam peeling performance; making it the most cost-effective steam peeling solution available on the market. The Odyssey steam peeler comes in a range of vessel sizes to achieve efficient processing production volumes of between 4000 kg/hour kg/hour.

The double sided inspection module efficiently inspects and removes all unwanted material, guaranteeing a high quality and safe product. The machine its compact, open and sanitary design makes it an optimal solution for integration after IQF tunnels or in packaging lines. Reduced labor costs and the machine s low energy consumption, reduce the overall costs and increase the yearly return on investment. The importance of safe and reliable food grows day in, day out. Helping the vegetable processors, TOMRA developed the Helius and Nimbus, free fall laser sorters. The sorter removes all discolorations and foreign material from a stream of frozen products, and can be configured to also inspect product on its biological characteristics (chlorophyll level). The undesired product is removed through a front or rear ejection system. The advanced technologies and mechanical design are geared to one another, limiting the quantity of false reject, increasing productivity and yield.
